    Coming from the man who wants to bring back Tommy Harper.

    Other fun numbers. Since the arbitrarily chosen date of June 10 Dalbec: .925 OPS Devers: .870 OPS Bogaerts: .825 OPS Not sure why the rush to bring up Casas. If nothing else, Dalbec has at least bought himself time…
  3. notin
    And over that “stretch”, has he been better or worse than Bogaerts and Devers?
  4. notin
    I think “Elite Sale” is, at best, something we only see occasionally. But certainly I expected pitch counts and lots of limits and rapid onsets of fatigue followed by reduced effectiveness this season…
  5. notin
    Ah yes. Good times. Probably worth noting the Sox at least gave my Puello idea a try…
  6. notin
    With me, it’s more of a Hader (or, really, almost any elite RP) fixation. But I doubt he’s so readily available with helping Milwaukee out somewhat, such as taking Bradley back. And if JBJ was playing on a 3 or 4 year deal here, even he’d become less palatable for this purpose…
  7. notin
    Inciarte (no way his option gets picked up), M Taylor, Hamilton, Lagares, Pillar, DeShields…
  8. notin
    I’m fine with that. Of course in my completely fictional scenario, we’d have neither…
  9. notin
    Effect.
  10. notin
    Sale has made 8 starts in the past 25 months. Did we not expect rust and durability issues?
  11. notin
    My thoughts are the Sox could use taking Bradley’s contract to couple with better players (namely, the increasingly expensive Josh Hader) to fill gaping holes on the team that will not be filled so adequately in the free agent market. Bradley is pricey and Milwaukee is cheap. The Sox might be wise to exploit that. What’s the advantage of dropping $1 mill on Marisnick beyond saving money to hopefully be the top bidder for the wildly unexciting Rasiel Iglesias?

    Dalbec has a .925 OPS since June 10. Maybe he’s no longer the streaky “all or nothing” guy we continue to think he is?
  13. notin
    It is possible his UZR in Boston was deflated by the All World Gold Glove guy in RF taking chances from him for a few years. He didn’t have that in Milwaukee. Still I’d take Bradley back. He’s overpriced, but it is just one season. Bat him 9th in a lineup that could easily have 8 hitters more than picking up the slack for his cold streaks. Count me in. Especially if the Sox can pry Hader in this deal and fill two gaping holes…
  14. notin
    But none of them carry the PR impact. Bringing back Bradley is a headline. Bringing in Marisnick is a one line blurb in a mass transaction article on MLBTR…
  15. notin
    You could put JBJ on crutches and he’d still defend CF better than Duran or Verdugo…
  16. notin
    Would you deal Duran and D Hernandez to the Brewers for Hader and Bradley? BTV only likes it if Milwaukee also includes about $8mill or possibly Adrian Houser or one of a few minor leaguers. If I ran the Brewers, I would very much do this deal…
  17. notin
    If JBJ is in RF, where is the Renfroe/Verdugo platoon? LF or CF? Or was that a typo?
  18. notin
    … with 6 strikeouts in that timeframe. Terrible time for a slump…
  19. notin
    And that has what to do with anyone on this board? Not sure if you realize this - and this is coming from the guy who said the Orioles are all still major leaguers just yesterday - but what we say on this board has zero effect on how the team plays…
  20. notin
    It’s past your bedtime and that comment only shows how little of what you read you actually understand…
  21. notin
    Probably worth noting - it all fell apart third time through the lineup. Gee, maybe all those managers not trying to squeeze extra innings out of their starters might actually know something…
  22. notin
    Yeah shame on us for not taking it seriously…
  23. notin
    … at the plate. He’s a one dimensional player. But as the saying goes, it’s one heckuva dimension. Of course, he’s also 22. If he loses this year, he will have 7 or 8 more chances to win a few awards…
  24. notin
    Or the NFL. Or the NBA. Or the Greater Chicago Men’s 16 Inch Softball Beer Guzzling League…
  25. notin
    Nowadays pitchers are investments, and you don’t want your 7 year $210 mill investment risking damage to his arm by trying to squeeze and extra 2-3 innings out of him per start. Especially since you have 6-8 pitchers already on the payroll capable of handling those extra innings. I don’t see the big deal. So pitchers don’t play go 7-8 innings? So what? Quarterbacks don’t play in the secondary any more, either, but I never saw anyone hold that against Tom Brady…
